A Sufi master and an Arab poet, her religious writings were extensive by any standard and extraordinary for her time. In medieval Islam a number of women were respected scholars and teachers, but they rarely composed works of their own. Aisha al-Ba'uniyya, however, was prolific. She composed over twenty works, and likely wrote more Arabic prose and poetry than any other Muslim woman prior to the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first full-scale biography of al-Ba'uniyya in the English language, this volume provides a rare glimpse into the life and writings of a medieval Muslim woman in her own words. Homerin presents her work in the wider context of late-medieval Islamic spirituality, examining the influence of figures such as Ibn al-'Arabi, al-Busiri and Ibn al-Farid, and emphasising the role of the person of the Prophet Muhammad in her spirituality. \u003ci\u003eAisha al-Ba'uniyya\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating introduction to a figure described by a sixteenth-century biographer as 'one of the marvels of her age'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Th Emil Homerin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786076101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786076106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oneworld Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Th Emil Homerin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047149793535,"sku":"9781786076106","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4898a59-3343-4daa-9d3d-06dceca5d12d.jpg?v=1684988548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aisha-al-bauniyya-th-emil-homerin-9781786076106","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
